<p>In the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1477281339203705/">Keep Roslindale Quirky</a> Facebook group, Lauren Cooperstein Corduck reports that <a href="http://www.psgourmetcoffee.com/">PS Gourmet Coffee</a>, which has outlets in South Boston and Dorchester, will be moving into <a href="http://www.universalhub.com/2015/roslindale-square-loses-another-bakery">the former Vouros pastry shop</a> at Washington and Poplar streets:</p>
<blockquote><p>I met the owner recently as I was walking home from the Square. He said that the permitting process is underway.</p></blockquote>
<p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GreenTCoffee/posts/893316350705908">the Green T Coffee Shop</a> on Huntington Avenue, Mission Hill, is planning a fall opening for its new outlet at South and Walter streets. The shop does not specify which of the vacant storefronts it's moving into, but the long vacant Christos market recently had its new "For Lease" signs taken down.</p>
<p>Although Roslindale Square has several places to get a cup of coffee, it has not had a dedicated coffee house since Cafe Select <a href="http://www.universalhub.com/2013/only-coffee-shop-roslindale-suddenly-shut">closed in 2013</a>. That space remains vacant.</p>

<p>Grace Styklunas of Roslindale, the team leader, said they're painting a mural version of the Dominican version of the bird-in-the-hand saying - the store owners are Dominican.</p>
<p>Syklunas, who helped paint the dragon mural on the side of Dragon Chef in Roslindale Square last summer, said the mural program works with owners of local businesses to paint murals on the sides of their buildings. The Archdale mural is replacing an older mural showing a woman cooking dinner.</p>
<p>She added that while a crew shows up with a rough sketch of what the mural should look like, they do the actual mural freehand. She said the hand - which will eventually be shown holding a large bird - took three or four tries to get just right.</p>

The idea of having an ice-cream factory in her neighborhood has long fascinated her. And knowing their smallest size is three gallons made a Puritan tub seem, well even more special.</p>
<p>We went down today for a party tomorrow (they're only open until 4, Mon-Fri.). You enter the side door (not the front one on Washington St). into a tiny waiting room with a small window that opens into an office. Tell the manager sitting there what flavor you want, he calls down to the factory floor, you hand over your $25 and in less than a minute, some guy dressed in a winter coat, thick pants and a warm hat comes out from the factory with your tub - which he tells you will feed 40 or 50 as he brings it out to your car for you.</p>
<p>Most cool, at least until you get the thing home and realize it won't fit in the freezer of your side-by-side, which makes you make an emergency ice run to the nearest market in the hopes that if you fill the bottom of your refrigerator with oh, say, 20 lbs of ice, and then lower the refrigerator temperature and surround the tub with the ice, that it will last until tomorrow.</p>
<p>Before we entombed it in ice, we weighed the behemoth: 15.8 pounds.</p>
